After delay, Clinton and Obamas criticize Weinstein | 11 Oct 2017 | Former President Obama and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton both denounced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday as allegations of rape and sexual harassment increased against the prominent Democratic donor. The critical statements came roughly five days [!] after the scandal broke and as the leading Democrats faced mounting criticism from Republicans for staying on the sidelines. Ronna Romney McDaniel, the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, took swipes via social media at both Clinton and Michelle Obama. "So Michelle Obama speaks out against women in the @GOP, but won't stand up for the women assaulted by Weinstein?" she questioned on Twitter.
